    Could the Vector Eraser and Path Brush tool be constrained to a straight line by the shift key?

      Could we add the shift modifier to both the vector eraser and the path brush tool so that straight lines could be achieved?

            @vectoradmin I am unable to constrain angle (with Shift) with vector eraser or the path brush tool or the knife tool. I know I was also not able to do this in the previous build, so it's not a build 16 regression. I was thinking they were not fixed yet, but this thread reminded me they should have been - unless I'm missing something, which is possible 🙂

              @Boldline I think it is assigned to the Control key (on Mac).

                @vectoradmin Thanks, I see that now. Is there a reason it's not tied to the shift key as a modifier? That would be my preference based on muscle memory with other programs, but if there's a good reason not to here, I respect that

                  @Boldline I think it is because the Pencil tool also uses the Control key.
                  Of course this can be changed, I will check if Shift is available (it also has to be in Pencil).

                    @Boldline Holding Control+ key should work now in the Eraser and Path Brush tools also.
